<p></p>
<p>Hours after Dallas was defeated in Green Bay, the player at the center of that game’s most memorable sequence spoke for millions of other football followers than just the Cowboys and their frustrated fans.</p>
<p>“We lost and I accept it,” wide receiver Dez Bryant tweeted, “but please change that rule.”</p>
<p>His leaping 31-yard reception on fourth down landed at the 1 in the waning minutes, but the call was overturned by a Packers challenge and Green Bay took a 26-21 victory to the NFC championship game.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-01-13/cowboys-move-question-future-murray-bryant" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2015-01-13/cowboys-move-question-future-murray-bryant#commentsSportsDAVE CAMPBELLAmerican footballDallasDean BlandinoDez BryantFootballForward passNational Football LeagueNational Football LeagueNational Football League loreNFLPass interferencePerson CareerplayerQuotationReligionReligionSafetySportsThe Catchthe NFC championshipthe NFLvice presidentwide receiverTue, 13 Jan 2015 06:32:22 +0000DAVE CAMPBELL204926 at http://lubbockonline.comKelly respects Cowboys, doesn't share hatehttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2014-12-13/kelly-respects-cowboys-doesnt-share-hate
<p>PHILADELPHIA — From Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Jason Garrett to Dick Vermeil, Buddy Ryan and Andy Reid, the men in charge have changed while the rivalry remains intense.</p>
<p>No matter the coaches, the players or the records, it’s always a big game when the Philadelphia Eagles play the Dallas Cowboys. First place in the NFC East is on the line for Sunday night’s prime-time matchup between the two 9-4 teams.</p>
<p>Chip Kelly understands fans in Philadelphia strongly dislike the Cowboys, but he doesn’t share those feelings.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2014-12-13/kelly-respects-cowboys-doesnt-share-hate" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2014-12-13/kelly-respects-cowboys-doesnt-share-hate#commentsSportsROB MAADDIAndy ReidBounty BowlBuddy RyancoachDallasDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDez BryantDick VermeilDick VermeilEmployment RelationJason GarrettJason GarrettJimmy JohnsonkickerLuis ZendejasMichael IrvinMichael IrvinNational Football LeagueNFC EastNFC EastPerson CareerPHILADELPHIAPhiladelphia EaglesPhiladelphia EaglesPro Football Hall of Fame inducteesquarterbackQuotationRandall CunninghamRyanThanksgivingTom LandryTom LandryTroy AikmanWashington RedskinsSat, 13 Dec 2014 06:28:05 +0000ROB MAADDI201302 at http://lubbockonline.comDez Bryant to Dallas on contract: 'Don't test my loyalty'http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2014-11-14/dez-bryant-dallas-contract-dont-test-my-loyalty
<p>IRVING — Dez Bryant smiled through a “no comment,” yet the questions kept coming about a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys.</p>
<p>Before long, the star receiver said a deal wasn’t about money, which prompted someone to ask what it was about.</p>
<p>“It’s all about respect,” said Bryant, who was sitting at his locker when reporters showed up in a mostly empty room during the Cowboys’ bye week Wednesday. “I am a very loyal person, but just don’t test my loyalty.”</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2014-11-14/dez-bryant-dallas-contract-dont-test-my-loyalty" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2014-11-14/dez-bryant-dallas-contract-dont-test-my-loyalty#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesAntonio BryantBusinessBusinesscoachDallasDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDez BryantDez BryantEugene ParkerIrvingJacksonvilleJason GarrettJerry JonesLondonNational Football LeagueNew York GiantsPerson CareerPerson CommunicationPerson LocationplayerQuotationShaq–Kobe feudSports in the United StatesStephen JonesTom CondonTony RomoUSDFri, 14 Nov 2014 06:10:14 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON197520 at http://lubbockonline.comCowboys' Bryant: No contract talks during seasonhttp://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-08-26/cowboys-bryant-no-contract-talks-during-season

<p></p>
<p>ARLINGTON — Dez Bryant couldn’t stop smiling at the luxury watches that are more expensive than some cars, far removed from his days as a troubled rookie facing a lawsuit over unpaid jewelry bills.</p>
<p>The Dallas Cowboys were giving their star receiver the fancy timepiece as a reward for being among just four players chosen to attend a news conference announcing a partnership with the Swiss manufacturer Hublot.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-08-26/cowboys-bryant-no-contract-talks-during-season" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2014-08-26/cowboys-bryant-no-contract-talks-during-season#commentsFiled onlineSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesArlingtonDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDez BryantDez BryantKingKobe BryantLos Angeles LakersNational Football LeaguePerson CareerplayerQuotationSAN FRANCISCOSports in the United StatesUSDWRITERWed, 27 Aug 2014 04:06:35 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON187113 at http://lubbockonline.comRomo's late-game magic keeps Cowboys afloathttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-26/romos-late-game-magic-keeps-cowboys-afloat
<p>IRVING — Tony Romo has now directed decisive fourth-quarter drives in the past two Dallas wins.</p>
<p>The Cowboys don’t even want to think about where they would be without the latest successes from Romo, whose resume is also filled with some notable late-game failures.</p>
<p>Dallas just knows this: With Romo’s winning drive to Dan Bailey’s 35-yard field goal on the final play at the New York Giants on Sunday, the Cowboys are back in control of the NFC East with five games left, starting with a short week before their Thanksgiving game against Oakland.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-26/romos-late-game-magic-keeps-cowboys-afloat" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-26/romos-late-game-magic-keeps-cowboys-afloat#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesBill CallahancoachCowboys–Giants rivalryDallasDallas CowboysDallas Cowboys seasonDan BaileyDez BryantDwayne HarrisIrvingJason GarrettJerry JonesMinnesotaNational Football LeagueNational Football League rivalriesNew YorkNew York GiantsNFC EastOAKLANDPerson CareerPHILADELPHIAQuotationThanksgivingTony RomoTony RomoWade WilsonTue, 26 Nov 2013 06:09:01 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON156468 at http://lubbockonline.comCowboys' Bryant shrugs off bold words from Giantshttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-19/cowboys-bryant-shrugs-bold-words-giants
<p>IRVING — Dez Bryant had two chances to respond to Jason Pierre-Paul’s claim that the New York Giants were going to rough up the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.</p>
<p>Bryant turned down both, and said Dallas will have to show similar restraint at game time since the Giants are hot and his team is not going into an NFC East showdown with playoff implications.</p>
<p>“You can’t be going out there trying to look for home runs,” Bryant said. “You’ve got to let that stuff come. That’s what we’re going to do.”</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-19/cowboys-bryant-shrugs-bold-words-giants" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-19/cowboys-bryant-shrugs-bold-words-giants#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesCowboys–Giants rivalryDallasDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDallas Cowboys seasonDeMarcus WareDez BryantDez BryantEli ManningIrvingJason GarrettJason HatcherJason Pierre-PaulNational Football LeagueNew OrleansNew YorkNew York GiantsNew York GiantsNFC EastNFC EastPerson CareerPHILADELPHIAQuotationSean LeeWASHINGTONTue, 19 Nov 2013 06:19:30 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON155765 at http://lubbockonline.comRomo backs Bryant, just like audio from ranthttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-11-01/romo-backs-bryant-just-audio-rant
<p>IRVING — With audio now available to back up Dez Bryant’s claim that he was saying only positive things at Tony Romo in a sideline rant last weekend, the Dallas quarterback was ready to offer a passionate defense of his top receiver.</p>
<p>Romo took care of it without the arm-waving that landed the emotional Bryant in the headlines again.</p>
<p>“Does he need to sometimes maybe look a little different for what’s going to be written and talked about?

<p>IRVING (AP) — Dez Bryant and Jason Witten shouted at each other in a sideline scene that overshadowed a stunning loss, with the potential to reverberate if the Dallas Cowboys let it.</p>
<p>Bryant’s antics are the least of the problems for Dallas with a defense facing more injury issues after allowing a last-second touchdown and the most yards in franchise history in Detroit’s 31-30 win.</p>
<p>The offense is sputtering, too, after consecutive hit-and-miss games without brittle running back DeMarco Murray, who is likely to return Sunday against Minnesota.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2013-10-28/cowboys-problems-bigger-bryant-antics" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2013-10-28/cowboys-problems-bigger-bryant-antics#commentsFiled onlineSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatescoachCowboys–Redskins rivalryDallasDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDallas Cowboys seasonDeMarco MurrayDerek DooleyDETROITDez BryantDez BryantEmployment RelationJason GarrettJason WittenJerry JonesMatt StaffordMinnesotaNational Football LeagueNational Football League rivalriesPerson CareerplayerQuotationrunning backSports in the United StatesTerrance WilliamsTony RomoTony RomoWade WilsonMon, 28 Oct 2013 21:56:24 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON153473 at http://lubbockonline.comManning time in Texas: Broncos visit Cowboyshttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-10-06/manning-time-texas-broncos-visit-cowboys
<p>ARLINGTON — It’s Peyton Manning time at the $1.2 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys.</p>
<p>The hot-starting Denver quarterback makes his first visit to Jerry Jones’ showplace a few months after the Dallas owner dropped Manning’s name to try to explain how Tony Romo was going to play a bigger role in the Cowboys’ offense.</p>
<p>After Romo signed his $108 million extension in the offseason, Jones said his quarterback would be spending “Peyton Manning-type time” at team headquarters.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-10-06/manning-time-texas-broncos-visit-cowboys" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2013-10-06/manning-time-texas-broncos-visit-cowboys#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesArlingtonBusinessBusinessChicago BearscoachDallasDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDallas Cowboys seasonDemaryius ThomasDenverDenver BroncosDez BryantEli ManningEmployment RelationEric DeckerHuman InterestHuman InterestJason GarrettJerry JonesJulius ThomasNational Football LeaguePerson CareerPeyton ManningPeyton ManningPeyton Manning-typequarterbackQuotationSAN DIEGOSuper Bowl MVPsTexasTexas StadiumTony RomoTony RomoUSDWes WelkerWes WelkerSun, 06 Oct 2013 05:26:02 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON151012 at http://lubbockonline.comCowboys, Romo agree on 6-year, $108M extension http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2013-03-29/cowboys-romo-agree-6-year-108m-extension

<p>IRVING — The Dallas Cowboys couldn’t trust receiver Dez Bryant to even run the right routes less than two months ago.</p>
<p>Now they’re letting him dictate whether he plays with a broken left index finger. They are also drawing inspiration from Bryant’s insistence on waiting until after the season for a surgery serious enough for owner Jerry Jones to startle his emerging star by mistakenly saying it would involve taking bone from his hip.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-12-20/cowboys-trusting-bryant-make-call-finger" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-12-20/cowboys-trusting-bryant-make-call-finger#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesCincinnaticoachContact DetailsDallasDallas CowboysDallas CowboysDallas Cowboys seasonDez BryantDez BryantIrvingJason GarrettJason WittenJerry JonesMiles AustinNational Football LeagueNational Football LeagueNew OrleansNew York GiantsNFLPerson CareerPittsburghQuotationSports in the United StatesTampa Bay Buccaneers seasonTony RomoTony RomoWASHINGTONThu, 20 Dec 2012 06:29:48 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON118081 at http://lubbockonline.comCowboys WR Bryant heeding advice, rolling alonghttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-12-05/cowboys-wr-bryant-heeding-advice-rolling-along
<p>IRVING — Dallas coach Jason Garrett implores Dez Bryant to run “north and south” with the ball. The Cowboys receiver is listening and his career sure seems headed a lot more north than south these days.</p>
<p>Bryant’s first catch Sunday at Cincinnati (7-5) could get the Dallas receiver to 1,000 yards for the first time as a pro. The past four games, he scored in each one and had the same career high in yards twice.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-12-05/cowboys-wr-bryant-heeding-advice-rolling-along" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-12-05/cowboys-wr-bryant-heeding-advice-rolling-along#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican football in the United StatesCincinnatiClevelandcoachDallasDallas Cowboys seasonDez BryantDez BryantIrvingJason GarrettJason WittenNational Football LeaguePerson CareerPHILADELPHIAQuotationTampa Bay Buccaneers seasonTony RomoTony RomoWASHINGTONWed, 05 Dec 2012 06:39:44 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON116332 at http://lubbockonline.comCowboys WR Dez Bryant could finally be arrivinghttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-11-21/cowboys-wr-dez-bryant-could-finally-be-arriving
<p>IRVING — Great one game. Hard to find the next. A scene at the mall one year. Trouble with the law the next.</p>
<p>Wide receiver Dez Bryant is the riddle many had feared when character issues allowed the Cowboys to take one of the best players in the 2010 draft late in the first round.</p>
<p>Don’t look now, but Bryant has multiple 100-yard receiving games for the first time as a pro, and is coming off a career-high 145 yards and a critical fourth-quarter touchdown against Cleveland. Barring injury or another twist to the story, he’ll probably have his first 1,000-yard season.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-11-21/cowboys-wr-dez-bryant-could-finally-be-arriving" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-11-21/cowboys-wr-dez-bryant-could-finally-be-arriving#commentsSportsSCHUYLER DIXONAmerican footballAmerican football in the United StatesArrestClevelandCowboys StadiumDallasDallas CowboysDeion SandersDez BryantDez BryantFamily RelationHuman InterestHuman InterestIrvingJason WittenJason WittenJerry JonesMike ShanahanNational Football LeagueNational Football League rivalriesPerson CareerQuotationShaq–Kobe feudTampa Bay Buccaneers seasonThanksgivingTony RomoTony RomoWASHINGTONwide receiverWed, 21 Nov 2012 06:36:38 +0000SCHUYLER DIXON114617 at http://lubbockonline.comMountaineers' Holgorsen faces former boss Gundyhttp://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-11-10/mountaineers-holgorsen-faces-former-boss-gundy
<p>STILLWATER, Okla. — Dana Holgorsen’s stay at Oklahoma State was brief. His impact was immense.</p>
<p>Between his offense developing into one of the nation’s best and his presence allowing Mike Gundy to get out of offensive meetings and focus on the big picture, Holgorsen helped the Cowboys take a big step toward their first Big 12 championship a year ago.</p>
<p>It also served him well, with his 10-month stint in Stillwater providing the platform that helped him get his first head-coaching job at West Virginia.</p>
<p>“I think it worked out good for everybody,” Holgorsen said.</p><p><a href="http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-11-10/mountaineers-holgorsen-faces-former-boss-gundy" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://lubbockonline.com/sports/2012-11-10/mountaineers-holgorsen-faces-former-boss-gundy#commentsSportsJEFF LATZKEAmerican footballBrandon WeedenBrandon WeedencoachCollege footballcoordinatorDana HolgorsenDana HolgorsenDez BryantEmployment RelationFootballforward with HolgorsenGeno Smithhead coachHoustonJustin BlackmonLes MilesMike GundyMike GundyMike LeachMike LeachNational Football LeagueOklahomaOklahoma State University–StillwaterPerson CareerPerson LocationPerson TravelquarterbackQuotationRobert GillespieRussell OkungSTILLWATERTexasthe NFLTodd MonkenTodd MonkenWest VirginiaWest VirginiaZac RobinsonSat, 10 Nov 2012 06:43:41 +0000JEFF LATZKE113185 at http://lubbockonline.comJones' kick return lifts Ravens over Cowboys 31-29http://lubbockonline.com/filed-online/2012-10-14/jones-kick-return-lifts-ravens-over-cowboys-31-29
